INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using Your Appliance
Remove the exterior and interior packing.
Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours. This will
reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Install the handle on the left side of the door using the screws that are provided.
Installation of Your Appliance
⚫
This appliance is designed for free standing or built-in (fully recessed) installation. If free standing, the unit
should have at least 4” of clearance at both sides, at the top and at the back to allow for adequate ventilation.
If it is built-in, leave 3/16” at both sides, 1/16” at the top and 2” at the rear. Be sure that airflow under the
appliance is not blocked.
⚫
Place your appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level your
appliance, adjust the front leveling legs at the bottom.
⚫
Locate the appliance away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct
sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extremely cold
ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform properly.
⚫
Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
⚫
Plug the appliance into an exclusive, properly installed and grounded wall outlet. Do not under any
circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power
and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified and authorized products service center.
⚫
The handle is stored inside the unit. Install using the screws (supplied).
